摘要:
The present invention relates to an LED retrofit lamp (700) adapted for operation with an alternating current. The LED lamp comprises an LED unit (740), a mains current line, first and second switching devices (710, 720) (e.g., first and second relays), and a control unit (730). The control unit (730) detects an ignition voltage on the mains current line. In response to detecting the ignition voltage on the mains current line, the control unit (730) sets the first and second switching devices (710, 720) to a conducting state such that the LED unit (740) is connected to power. By using the first and second switching devices (710, 720), safety of the LED lamp (700) is improved, in particular when installing the lamp (700) into a fixture designed for fluorescent lamps.

A switch-mode power supply device (1) is disclosed. The switch-mode power supply device (1) has a main circuit (6) configured to receive a DC input voltage and to provide a DC output voltage. The main circuit (6) comprises: an inductor element (12) generating the DC output voltage, a switching element (9) connected to the inductor element (12), and a controller (7) configured to switch the switching element (9) between a conducting state and a non-conducting state, wherein the switching element (9) is configured to feed a pulsed direct current to a ground potential (10). The switch-mode power supply (1) also has an auxiliary circuit (16) configured to provide an auxiliary voltage. The auxiliary circuit (16) comprises an auxiliary inductor (18) connected to receive the pulsed direct current and magnetically isolated from the inductor element (12).
摘要:
An average power consumption of receiving units (3,5,7) for controlling apparatuses (4,6,8) in response to operation control signals from transmitting units (2) may be reduced by introducing devices (1,21) for controlling the power consumption of the receiving units (3,5,7) in response to detections of states of the apparatuses (4,6,8). The devices (1) may comprise controllers (30) for controlling the power consumption in a wireless, non-wireless, physical and/or logical manner. The devices (1) may comprise monitors (33) for monitoring power consumption, currents and/or voltages at the receiving units (3,5,7) and/or the apparatuses (4,6,8). The devices (1) may comprise receivers (40), detectors (41), converters (42) and transmitters (43) for receiving the operation control signals, detecting the states of the apparatuses (4,6,8), converting the operation control signals into converted signals, and transmitting the operation control signals or the converted signals to the receiving units (3,5,7) for controlling the power consumption of the receiving units (3,5,7) via the transmitted signals, wherein the transmitted signals correspond to power control signals.
